When weapons are sold to countries without permission or when a chemical plant explodes because it was poorly maintained, that is no longer negligence. People die because they land on the street after having been defrauded of their house or bank account. Freeze to death say. There are lots of things that white collar criminals can do that cause death or destroy lives.

Re: Death Penalty For White Colloar Crimes

I don't support the death penalty for murderers given the number of innocent people on death row. I certainly won't support it for a non violent property crime. In fact I'd call it one of the stupider ideas I've heard. Either that or perhaps something that Joe Stalin might have supported.
